Random Artsy.

SSQUO's Sunday Scribblings this week is about art. Well, I don't know much about art, yet I know what I like and what form it should be. Yes, as an evil person, it is traditional to like the colour black and other darker hues. But that's for 'official' capacity, like nobody would take a serial murderer in colourful costumes seriously.

So let's be artsy for a few moments... I Googled 'van gogh sunflowers' and this is the painting I always remember. Yes, I admit that I LIKE sunflowers. To make fun of this fact will invite a scathing entry all about you, my daring assailant. You have been amply warned.

                                            

I prefer the paintings from the old masters not because they worth a lot of money, but the reason why they worth so. This Van Gogh's might look like had been painted by an amateur (by you people who are so obsessed with realism) but to me, Mr Painter had captured the essence of the moment - beautiful yellow sunflowers in a vase. Only that, not the table spread or the scenery behind it. The painting is only about those flowers in a vase - pretty simple.

Tell me about your favourite paintings.

p.s. - I have many sunflowers pictures for my desktop. I think the sunflower is so often overlooked by many people, who prefers exotics like roses and orchids. And I STRESSED here that I only like my sunflowers in vases and pictures, not on shirts, item of decorations or even bedspread! I have class, ok.
